You looked up at the stars and said I don't know a single constellation

We lay on our backs, swallowing the nameless night

And though we fall in love with our particular formations

All we'll ever be . . . is dark and light

I wanna be of the earth, I wanna breathe in the sound

And feel my hands reaching deep in the ground

I wanna dance with the trees, not like some tree-hugging boy

Just as a free-loving body embodying joy

I wanna be in the world, I wanna revel in toil

I wanna feel my feet ten thousand feet in the soil

I wanna burst when I'm full, I wanna shine like I'm mad

Not like a pattern of stars, just as the light that I am

You looked up at me and said this must be the strangest conversation

Lobbing our truths back and forth in aimless flight

And though we fall in love with our particular translations

All we'll ever mean is Love . . . and I . .

Wanna be of the earth, I wanna breathe in the sound

And feel my hands reaching deep in the ground

I wanna dance with the trees, not like some tree-hugging boy

Just as a free-loving body embodying joy

I wanna be in the world, I wanna revel in toil

I wanna feel my feet ten thousand feet in the soil

I wanna burst when I'm full, I wanna shine like I'm mad

Not like a pattern of stars, just as the light that I am

(Instrumental bridge)

I wanna be of the earth, I wanna breathe in the sound

And feel my hands reaching deep in the ground

I wanna dance with the trees, not like some tree-hugging boy

Just as a free-loving body embodying joy

I wanna be in the world, I wanna revel in toil

I wanna feel my feet ten thousand feet in the soil

I wanna burst when I'm full, I wanna shine like I'm mad

Not like a pattern of stars, just as the light that I am

Not like a pattern of stars, just as the light that I am

Not like a pattern of stars, just as the light that I am
